Here are all the highlights from the fourth day of Cowboys’ training camp.
The Cowboys had a second padded practice today out in Oxnard, California. Fresh off a ‘not guilty’ verdict, Jourdan Lewis is back with the squad:

Just an update on Maliek Collins, who seemed to have tweaked something yesterday. He did not participate today:
96 no pads

DT Maliek Collins (hip flexor) is not practicing but DE Charles Tapper (cramps) is. Stephen Paea working at Collins spot with 1st team.

Right before practice, our very own RJ Ochoa spent some time with the man in charge, Stephen Jones:
Stephen Jones says when Dak put together 5, 6, 7 last year that that was about when he knew Tony Romo wasn't returning. Called it high-hand.

Well, that was fast, newly-signed running back Ronnie Hillman is in pads and will be number 37:

After three days of practice, the Cowboys will be putting the breaks on Jaylon Smith for today:

It looks as though Dak and Dez are working on something that made Tony Romo and Bryant lots of cheddar:
Dak Prescott just found Dez Bryant on a nice fade. Seen that a few times this week. Is the fade the new back shoulder?!

Thankfully O.C.C. is here to keep everything civil among those that get out of hand:
Keep in mind that these 11-on-11 drills are conducted at 3/4 speed (at best) so the next time you hear that a CB got "burned" ... relax.

With Ezekiel Elliott, Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris, and Ronnie Hillman, that's a pretty full running back room:

However, we need to relax on thinking this has much to do with Elliott, we've been assured this has little to do with a looming suspension:

As was mentioned yesterday, QB Zac Dysert had season-ending back surgery, keep in mind the Cowboys will be looking for a quarterback. There are rumors that they have worked out former Baylor star Seth Russell:

This may be the funniest tweet of the day regarding Ryan Switzer:
Watching literally anybody try to tackle Ryan Switzer is like an episode of Tom & Jerry
— RJ Ochoa (@rjochoa) July 27, 2017
Keep your eyes peeled for anything in regards to Switzer, he got a little banged up today:
Ryan Switzer is down nursing what looks like his hamstring after a really nice catch and run. Trainers looking at him.

Ryan Switzer walked off with the athletic training staff and headed to the medical tent. Not sure what happened. Wasn't noticeably limping.

For the second straight day, practice got a little chippy towards the end:

Third tussle of the day for the offensive and defensive lines. None led to what I'd call a fight, but this one definitely was the closest.
— RJ Ochoa (@rjochoa) July 27, 2017
Not one but two different scuffles between the OL & DL during 1v1 reps. Think they're getting into it over there.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) July 27, 2017
There's been at least three scrums between the OL and DL in pass rush drills. Feisty in Day 2 of pads.
— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) July 27, 2017
Ol’ Jerrah loves himself some competition:
One scuffle between O-line and D-line spilled onto the sidelines near Jerry Jones and his guests. The Cowboys owner/GM seemed to enjoy it
— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) July 27, 2017
He also had some words of encouragement for a young pass rusher, did the Cowboys snag themselves a potential beast with Moore?

Overall, the defense won another day of battle which won’t happen too often against an offense like the Cowboys’:
Despite offsides on defense, Chido makes another play in coverage with nice INT near sideline. Made plays yesterday and today.

Well, much like yesterday, pads on pads brings out the inner beasts in guys. It was chippy and aggressive but that’s how these coaches like it. We will continue to monitor the situation with Ryan Switzer once more information is gathered.
As always, stay tuned to BTB for any training camp updates! Here are two last shots of Zeke and Dak taking care of the fans! By far the fan favorites of camp:
